Adam Lee – Oh Bill Gates is busy making vaccines. Remember, we will have them before the end of this year, it doesn’t matter if to develop a vaccine 10+ years is required, and regardless that vaccine is not needed for that “pandemic” because it cured easily with medication that is 65 years in use.

Unlike The Big Four these days, Microsoft hasn’t gotten itself into an antitrust investigation or created a monopoly. Of course 20 years ago things were different and the company faced antitrust charges which could have led into it being broken up. In 2001 the DOJ and Microsoft settled the case. Microsoft had to share their APIs with 3rd parties and a panel of three people who would have full access to Microsoft’s systems, records, and source code for five years in order to ensure compliance was appointed. These and other Microsoft’s obligations under the settlement expired in late 2007 but the company didn’t object if they had been extended to 2012. Microsoft basically acted like The Big Four 20 years ago but changed its ways.

So there you have it folks, Trump is avoiding to answer if he knew about the bounties that the Russians are paying and supplying weapons to the Taliban to kill Americans
Trump has spoken to Putin 8 times since we heard about bounties being paid to the Taliban by Russia to kill Americans. Trump has never confronted Putin about it and denies the report ever reaching his desk!!

Glad this happened to hopefully gain some kind of insight but WOW. Hypocritical and ironic Rep. Matt Gaetz wants to have “open” conversations by making emotional personalized attacks calling policies “BIGOTED” and also trying to pit two different CEOS against each other???? Is that really trying to discover truths and answers or is it yet again some guy acting like a 4yr old trying to puff his chest and go on a tirade. And some people wonder why many think he’s racist? SMH
P.S.- Just think about how some people frame their questions. Interrupting. Is it actually about understanding something better or about fighting? ALL THIS HATE BACK AND FORTH NEEDS TO STOP. 🛑

Sorry, I don’t like getting involved in this stuff… but I had to look up David Cicilline. I mean really, Rhode Island, where he has been elected… now is the fulcrum point of national decisions on issues such as this. No offense to Rhode Island, it is a beautiful state, and I am happy that I have been there a number of times. But he won his first office to the House of Representatives by 2851 votes to 1642. I don’t have to explain those numbers. So my question is, quite succinctly and with no further proof… is why is this man the chairman for such an important venue, and why should any of us listen to him? Why? We did not elect him as US citizens across the country, but in fact 209 Rhode Islanders did… so that is credibility I guess. Again, I’m sorry – because you just can’t say crappola anymore without offending someone. But I’m almost embarrassed as a citizen that this man is in the position he is to provide oversight on such a huge issue as antitrust without ANY EXPERIENCE (worth noting) WHAT-SO-EVER. And no, I’m not saying that he does not have the education to be there, nor the capability of independent thought… though that is sadly lacking today in politics. But what I am saying is that he has not grown a company, he has not participated in the life many of us have known, and I just don’t know why he is chairman. Yeah, this is a rant. But I rant a lot when I see this stuff. Fortunately not so much publicly. I think all of the tech companies need to be closer to their own constituents (meaning paying clients), but I don’t think we need to FRY them all just because we are all going through bad times. Alright, I typed too much, and I’m the one that will be fried. But so be it. I’ve got every day problems to face which fortunately is not focussed on this crappola. I hope that we all get through this time though, and maybe find some good politicians once again.

I call BS already at 1:52:00 or so. It’s ok to have someone who complains, but to start right out to make that some sort of proof, among many thousands of users, that GOOGLE is usurping business from ‘small time advertisers’, or whatever this man (Cicilline) is claiming, is just downright unrealistic. How do you open a hearing with such a remark? Sensationalism is in fact a highlight of this kind of inquiry, which is in fact a way to avoid useful dialogue, and it’s only purpose is to achieve a goal that was predetermined. But this gentleman Cicilline… why him? I really can’t believe these company heads agreed to meet with him… well, yeah maybe I can. I’m sure they were compelled to by Congress. Wow, I’ll keep watching I guess.
Kevin Wells
July 30, 2020 at 9:22 am
Google should have mentioned that the return results for searches always identify advertisements, and which I usually skip past, scroll downward or whatever. That’s fine. Google needs revenue, and they identify it. Cicilline should have had an advisor with him on that question. Google always seems to identify it’s advertisers, if anyone reads the threads correctly. YELP versus GOOGLE – I never even really thought about it. I have a YELP app, and so far no Google app does the same thing. How to create something out of nothing is what I call this line of questioning. Oh well, this guy,

Indeed, the endless whining of republicans and conservatives about being repressed and banned. Geez, these guys really need to get some balls and focus on what really matters, and it isn’t fringe conspiracies. But I guess this is what the republican party has become: a whinging and whining bunch of spineless corrupt bastards. Joel Raskin is an absolute hero for saying what nobody else apparently has the guts to say.

TRUMP2020. Google, Facebook and Twitter NEED TO PAY for the bias! Don’t believe me? Here’s an experiment: try to search “how to oppose BLM” on a) google.com b) ecosia.org and then compare results! Also, don’t forget to compare, how autocomplete works.
It’s disgusting! USA used to be praised for being a country of the FREE! (Ecosia, by the was, plants trees with the ad money.)
Don’t get me wrong! I have NOTHING against the blacks, I personally DO care for black lives. But BLM is a marxist movement, connected to Antifa and ISIS (proven!).

It’s a poisonous equation of crony-capitalism, as opposed to free-market capitalism. Crony-capitalism = mergers, acquisitions, take-overs & amalgamations to swallow up all competition and gain 90% of market share, becoming “too big to fail” = Government protection = corporate hegemony benefits. Free market capitalism is the opposite = thrives on robust competition which necessarily demands operatives in the market place to continually search for more innovation, higher quality, competitive pricing and offer greater choice to consumers to capture increased market share = the consumer benefits. No contest as to which is best, so why does Congress allow crony-capitalism to prevail? Weak-kneed, politically purchased and compromised political puppets who accept globalist, predatory corporate funding to finance their election campaigns.
COULD Congress stop it? Yes with simple legislation that has worked before where ownership in each market sector is limited to a percentage by any commercial interest, cross-ownership connections deemed as one interest. An absence of political will is the problem, making a farce of these long-winded and convoluted Congressional enquiries, when Congress is the problem in its failure to address crony-capitalism in the first place. Snivelling, dishonest public servants, benefitting from corporate funding at the expense of the public are directly responsible – frauds.
